In this issue of the Monitor:

• We write about the demise of Areva's EPR reactor, including the latest problems with flawed pressure vessels.
• Charly Hultén writes about nuclear power's latest setback in Sweden − Vattenfall abandoned plans for new reactors earlier this year and now it has brought forward plans to retire two reactors.
• We summarise a new study on nuclear accidents and the problems with 'probabilistic risk assessments'.
• We summarise a critical report about Generation IV reactors written by the French government's Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety.
• We update nuclear debates in Belgium, with the government planning to short-circuit proper consultation and planning processes in order to fast-track lifetime extensions for two reactors.
